A Gift for Lala

Twenty-Six - Surprise

I hadn't had time to answer two questions from Fadly and Junot when I heard my name being touted from the school's hubbub. Fadly and Junot seemed to have heard as well.

"Cristiaan!" I heard that scream.

Deggs...! My eyes glared at the crowd that started to gush towards me. Fadly and Junot were also surprised why suddenly in front of me was already crowded with the crowd. And there, a Cristian Prasetyo came out of the crowd smiling at his frenzied fans accompanied by a school security guard.

Cristian now looked at me while smiling waving. I feel like I'm in a movie right now. It's like it's not real, how can I now be between two guys who are judged by one schoolgirl and a guy who is judged by almost all teenagers in this country. Totally unbelieveable. Oh God! I was like floating.

Cristian is standing in front of me right now. I still can't believe it. While the excitement began to subside. And I can hear the unbelieving wit of everyone.

"Lalaa... Oh my goodness, you liars know not." Heina. I looked at Heina in surprise because I did not understand.

"He didn't know any other artist, he knew Cristian. You're upset," Heina said with a flirtatious smile at Cristian.

"I... " I looked at Junot and Fadly alternately. They also looked surprised.

"Sorry, La, don't say anything. It turned out that I had a few hours before heading back to Jakarta in the afternoon. So I was thinking about meeting you at school. But, uh... It was a gini. Sorry yes."

I nodded in understanding. "Oh..  No papa Tan. I thought you were back in Jakarta from yesterday."

"Nh.... " Cristian then looked at Fadly, Junot and Heina alternately.

"Np... Sorry, La. Yeah, we're walking tomorrow, yeah." Junot finally left me. Fadly too. While Heina was still not free to look at Cristian.

"We're on the road, yuk. Anterin I'm traveling around Semarang." Cristian then grabbed my hand and pulled me over without caring for Heina's disappointed look. I could only wave at Heina while following Critian's footsteps. Among the crowd I could see two faces that might faint after seeing this. Yola and Flowers. That might be a lesson for them not to look down on others. In my heart I smiled, then looked at Cristian with a sweet smile.

I spent three fun hours with Cristian. We are like old friends we just met. I was a little awkward at first, but Cris... Uh, Trian convinced me to be casual with him. My best friend Gigi would have fainted if she had known about this. I can't wait to tell Gigi.

During the dress I had no idea what Mama and Trian were talking about. Mama seems familiar with Trian. Huh, you mother...

And that afternoon I spent time with Trian eating, walking and joking. Delightful.

As I got down from the car that was taking us for a walk, Trian thrust out a small green box. With a smile I opened it and looked like a beautiful silver bracelet. It seems that unbeknownst to me Trian bought it earlier.

"Make me?" tanyaku.

"Yesin' it..."

"Thanks yes... Very cute.." I smiled happily.

"See you later, La."

I'm nodding. "Bey... Trian.  Thanks for the surprise."

I delivered Trian's departure with a smile and a wave. After that I went into the house with a still uncertain heart. Today I am very happy. Never imagined my move to Semarang would make a very extraordinary blessing.

God, thank you..
